Batman Beyond --- or as it was called on my side of the Atlantic, Batman of the Future --- has such a strong fanbase that it's no surprise that it's become a staple of DC's publishing slate since its revival in comics form.

DC has provided us with an exclusive first look at Batman Beyond #5 by Dan Jurgens, Bernard Chang, Marcelo Maiolo, and Travis Lanham, which sees Terry McGinnis learning all sorts of secrets as he prepares for his final clash with the villainous Terminal.

While Terry might think that his mentor Bruce Wayne died fighting Brother Eye's cyborgs, he's about to learn that death in superhero universes isn't quite that permanent. It's a good lesson to learn, considering that elsewhere his enemies are conspiring to resurrect the 21st century Joker!
